Q

How describe a fracture

A

Start with type of x ray and clinical details etc
Location- which bone and which part of bone?
Pieces- simple or multifragmentary?
Pattern?- open, transverse etc?
Displaced or not?
Translation or angulation of bone
Plane of fracture
Talk about complications- dislocation of joint, compound fracture etc

Q

What is translation vs angulation

A

Translation= displacement of distal bone ( anterior or laterally translated etc)

20
Q

What look for examination of the back

A

Lipoma or hair growth can indicate spina bifida
Pigmentation or cafe au lait spots may indicate NF
Scoliosis

21
Q

If see scoliosis, what ask patient to do

A

Bend forward and assess if ribs higher on side than other

22
Q

Classifying arthritis

A

Inflammatory- RA, seronegative spondyloarthropathies
Infectious- septic arthritis
Neoplastic
Depositional- gout, amyloidosis, haemochromatosis
Degenerative- primary osteoarthritis or secondary to charcot arthropathy or post traumatic or congeintal defect

23
Q

Inflammatory vs degenerative arthritis

A

Inflam
- pain with rest, relieved by moving
- stiffness in am
- extra articular features
- B symptoms
- polyarticular
Degenerative
- relieved by rest
- locking of joint
- bony enlargement, malalignment
- monoarticular

24
Q

Signs of synovitis on imaging

A

Synovial thickening
Joint effusions
Bone erosions
Narrowing of joint
On doppler USS will see increased vascularity

Periarticular osteopenia
Erosion of joints
Loss of radioulnar joint space
Carpal and radiocarpal joint space narrowing

28
